Borough planner Jesus said DOT is gathering multi-year data on the Bronxdale corridor to evaluate safety after the protected bike-lane installation. He also confirmed staff are collecting parking-lot usage and crime statistics for the Bronxdale municipal lot but had not received a response from the unit prior to the meeting; he said he would follow up with the district manager and the unit and return to the committee with the results.

DOT staff described a planned milling and paving schedule for Lydig/Leidig Avenue (noting the roadway schedule is subject to change), with the segment discussed running roughly between Barnes and Bronx Park East. Jesus explained standard procedures: milling often proceeds in segments (one or two blocks at a time), with paving generally following after utilities and checks (typically about a week or two after milling), and that overnight work reduces daytime impacts on businesses.

On Pelham Parkway, committee members asked DOT to investigate repaving near the Amtrak bridge and a stairwell location; staff asked for a screenshot and said they would log a request with the roadway crew. A DOT case was opened during the meeting for a separate street-lighting request (see other article): DOT-694763-HA0GA8 (as read aloud in the meeting) and staff said they would provide case numbers and report back.

The committee also discussed a bump-out at Wilson and Waring that residents say reduces parking and creates sight-line problems. DOT staff said the bump-outs include DEP bioswales for stormwater mitigation and that the bump-outs are hardened geometry (curb/structure); as a result, DOT staff said signage alone is not always sufficient and that enforcement is necessary when vehicles occupy the driving lane. Staff said they would follow up with engineering and Anthony (roadway engineering contact) to obtain any outstanding responses.

DOT staff committed to providing the committee with scheduled dates (subject to change), case numbers and a written follow-up on parking-lot statistics and bump-out history.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Transportation Committee 5/2025","oneSentenceSummary","DOT staff told the Community Board 11 Transportation Committee on May 3 that milling and paving are scheduled for local segments and pledged follow-up on Bronxdale municipal parking-lot statistics and a bump-out at Wilson and Waring.","taxTitle","Bronx County/City, New York","taxId",3379,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567116,"Residents and merchants press DOT and NYPD over Bronxdale Avenue bike lane, parking and safety",2205,1017000,3222000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195054-edbc3544fa54801a9875b4a52863826f&start=1017&end=3222","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195054-edbc3544fa54801a9875b4a52863826f/thumbnail_1017000.jpg","/articles/6567116/Bronx-CountyCity/New-York/Residents-and-merchants-press-DOT-and-NYPD-over-Bronxdale-Avenue-bike-lane-parking-and-safety","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567116-a38cb9d97ec00d6b276024cb907ac648/orig.mp4?Expires=1771007809&Signature=gM~~sI3ZkULlguV4ojfW6PxsFK~YZQgIjKEPaDhVOgCirDsjtBOZ-mCh-3WmHsfU~8~Rn8FhqR79~~-7j1~aWBgP6raNLV~kgLxhEOV1vG0aheCRMI~7o~1p1eCWHKv5FwNnIxaltbDpFB7RuG3vrZwogpRMnAE9j-xpkCSSepyZ65xbA2EpIzoCerUEnZYY35tu-bwD9XlV4o6gWAp3~5tJyC0aehkCwVlFqjrDzfug-s1KVDDjH0vDopYq1RwChWwcpk1eJRcmWv3gb0MQIcs1Ka5n8vjBnkAKabJBKapKiD6W92OQGFw~4yusqlaIOvSz5iy~96kS0~Z0Dq5bvA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Residents, merchants and Community Board 11 members used an extended portion of the May 3 Transportation Committee meeting to raise safety and parking problems along Bronxdale Avenue after the street’s protected bike lane and roadway changes were installed.

Several residents and board members described repeated double-parking, vehicles parked perpendicular in the bike lane and drivers using the former driving lane for parking and pickup and drop-off at nearby schools and businesses. Diana (public participant) told the committee, “They park perpendicular, so they're cutting off the entire bike lane. There's no way to get around unless you go up onto the sidewalk or into the lane of traffic.” Another commenter said parents drop off students in the middle of Bronxdale Avenue during school arrival and dismissal, creating dangerous pedestrian crossings.

Jesus, a borough planner for the commissioner’s office, said the Bronxdale configuration has been in place about three years and that DOT is gathering safety and accident data before producing a formal report for the board. He described recent adjustments and said staff would follow up with additional information. Committee members and residents emphasized that much of the day-to-day problem is enforcement: vehicles blocking bike lanes and bus lanes and cars parking where they impede sightlines and intersections. Staff repeatedly said policing and ticketing are NYPD responsibilities, while DOT can consider signage, daylighting and engineering changes.

Speakers also flagged particular pressure points: commercial driveways, valet operations and individual business behavior (residents and staff cited 905 Bronxdale Avenue and nearby commercial uses as recurring problem locations). One staff member said he had filed multiple 301 requests and provided photos showing vehicles obstructing crosswalks and the bike lane at school drop-off times.

Board members and attendees urged DOT and the district manager to coordinate enforcement, improve curbside controls and consider physical changes where appropriate. The committee asked staff to compile a list of specific intersections and segments where parking in the bike lane is recurring, so DOT and enforcement partners can act.

DOT staff said they would collect location-specific evidence and return with recommendations; residents asked the committee to press NYPD for enforcement in tandem with any design changes.","Neighborhood residents and board members told the Community Board 11 Transportation Committee the Bronxdale Avenue protected bike lane has caused persistent parking and safety problems; DOT staff said it is collecting data on the corridor and noted enforcement is primarily an NYPD responsibility.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6567118,"Community Board 11 backs 16 street activity permits; new Yemeni festival will close one Morris Park Avenue block",671,172000,843000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3195054-edbc3544fa54801a9875b4a52863826f&start=172&end=843","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3195054-edbc3544fa54801a9875b4a52863826f/thumbnail_172000.jpg","/articles/6567118/Bronx-CountyCity/New-York/Community-Board-11-backs-16-street-activity-permits-new-Yemeni-festival-will-close-one-Morris-Park-Avenue-block","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6567118-941f45a1fcdc93857ff215fd02258b18/orig.mp4?Expires=1771007809&Signature=NyL-Yq4HlpQClbcxI-s-Os0sumrJdOJ3O6q2vKQ8oQ1vTVc4MWcSCo8zPrk-0g83W~HaPKqzwMOC0E7WAKlfYqC1u3ZBOTQDgfFEWgKMZWiFWcViydDwu30ZAu6iYiadEZ2~-yUNvBkB6qADh0D7ZIYeiDSHMQW9~NLtc5BjOFxf6OvK8YYcSnxqwdpCDGk-oKnvZCQv~u26lO0qereja4jZUbfDbetptSyEIZAesIc5WtEkIYJOQmkYK21B2prPQoDcV4t01YL0pOYF5WagYyQRa2V5Pflx27rspLuAg5bHkFxZ0AUsED8Cz4wgBUV3yV63MdHiiOLRy9JyRD-nVw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Community Board 11 Transportation Committee on May 3 recommended approval of 16 street activity permit applications, including a new event called \"Yemeni Heritage in Motion\" that the applicant said would run June 21 from about 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. with two-hour setup and breakdown windows.

The motion to approve the batch of permits was made during the meeting and seconded by Lisa Valella; the committee chair called for objections and the motion passed with no objections recorded. The chair announced the group would vote on all items together rather than individually.

The committee discussed whether the Yemeni event was a parade or a street festival and whether it required a different permit type. Jesus, a borough planner for the commissioner’s office, and other committee members said past instances of Yemeni events (noted in agency records for 2022 and 2023) had required reroutes of Bx buses and that the NYPD 49th Precinct previously posted reroute notices on social media. Committee members said the route proposed for this year would close Morris Park Avenue between Wallace and Hunts avenues for the event footprint; the agenda lists an estimated attendance range of 1,000 to 5,000 and notes live entertainment, food and stations.

Committee members asked whether the event would block bus service and whether it was a sidewalk-only activity or a full-street closure. Jesus and other staff said the setup and exact routing would be coordinated with the district manager, transit agencies and NYPD; the committee did not direct any changes during the meeting. A committee member asked staff to verify whether the application should be processed as a parade permit if a moving procession was planned.

Other approved permits discussed by the committee were described as repeats of prior annual events (Allerton International Food Festival, an ambulance block party, studio anniversaries and neighborhood family days) and generated no objections.

The committee said staff would follow up on outstanding logistics (police details, bus reroutes and any agency instructions) and inform the board and the public if additional restrictions or signage were required.

Multiple speakers urged the committee to request lighting improvements and to contact the MTA and DOT for a coordinated solution.

Roxanne Delgado, who represents a nearby residential area, described the shelter as “very dark” both northbound and southbound and said neighbors feared for their safety after dark. She asked the committee to draft a support letter asking the responsible agency to add lighting. Committee members asked DOT staff to confirm jurisdictional responsibility before starting a letter-writing effort.

Jesus said DOT staff would follow up directly with Roxanne and determine whether the location is MTA or DOT responsibility. He requested a follow-up email with the exact location so staff could log a case and report back. A DOT case number was read during the meeting for a separate lighting request (DOT-694763-HA0GA8), and staff asked residents to provide photos and precise locations to help the agency pursue either internal lighting work or an MTA referral.
